What you want me VOLUNTEER to fight for my country? Forget that - show me the money

The army is hard up...
and apparently they want privates more than junior officers?

Not that I'm complaining about monetary incentives for the BS people in the military put up with, but obviously its a sad day when the military is slowly becoming a non-volunteer military. (like my grammer?) Anyway Im proud that Evan came from the volunteer days; and still stickin with his commitment.

Check out the article:

Ouch thats gotta hurt...




My nephew was hit by a car this weekend. I think the resulting injuries were a very banged up face, scratched cornea, mullllllltiple stitches, a broken hip and a broken knee (yep on the same side)My Mom says he's okay but will have a nice recovery ahead of him. Heres the artcle... JUST IN. I think the commentary below the article is humorous.

How are them goals kid?

Since I wrote goals and shared them ;) I figured I should check in with how they are doing so far this month..

Dance - yep still taking lessons. Rumba and Swing are half choreographed, havent touched mambo yet. Bolero and Chacha are mostly done. Just need to remember them now.... Ive been working with Lecie on my chacha routine for the next showcase. Envision 'wikked lil grrrls' and school girl outfits OOOOO!!!

Work - it looks like th tDPT(doctorate) will have to wait until next year. I missed the deadline for this year and it would be pushing it money-wise as well. So I think I will concentrate on alot of manual therapy and myofascial continuing eds this year. Also maybe try up to level two NAIOMT certification. Thats a certification through the north american institute of orthopaedic manual therpy. Im hands on baby! Also it looks like my employer will be literally MOVING in July. We will have a new home somewhere here in burlington or mt vernon. Moving that clinic will be awesome but a nightmare all at the same time. Ill keep ya updated.

Home - The coffee table has to wait :( Evan put his foot down on that one. The light fixture IS changed!! Go Ev and Nate for doing that today as a matter of fact. Oh and I havent touched the spare bedroom....slacking on that goal.

Diet/exercise - I DID try a yoga class here. I didnt like it. I havent done yoga in months and it didnt even slightly wind me. I guess I just enjoy getting my ass kicked in yoga and LOVE hot yoga; which this was niether. So Jess and I may try a Bikram yoga class together soon... Have I found my ab diet books? No - I think my mom has them. Although I might find them if i ever start cleaning out the spare room.

You NEED a website people!

I am a firm believer in the fact that - if you care about your business, you will have a website to help promote it. I obviously use the internet quite a bit and I think many people of my generation use it frequently as well. Now that my generation has become an economic force I believe businesses should cater to the fact that we use the internet! For instance, if I see an advertisement for a business, I immediately look for its website to learn more about it, its pricing, etc to make sure its the business I want to use before I waste time going there - or shoot even calling. I was extremely annoyed yesterday when of course I saw a beautiful ad in the paper for a certain business and it had no website. As a matter of fact, of this certain type of business, NONE had a website. However, if one HAD one I would use that business solely for the fact that I see that they care enough to spend some time promoting themselves on the internet. I have actually chosen businesses with websites over other quite a few times. I don't understand WHY they wont chose to do this - when it is so easy. It doesn't have to be fancy - it can even be in a blog form for all i care (which is very easy to do). I even used a salon/spa who promoted themselves on MYSPACE over going to some others in my area. So c'mon people - YOU NEED A WEBSITE. Get on board; my internet junkie generation is starting to make some big money - and i believe businesses with internet promotion will get it....
